Amazon Smartphone to Pack 4.7-inch Display

Amazon's highly rumored smartphone will ship with a 4.7-inch display, according to a new report published by DigiTimes on Wednesday. Amazon reportedly made the decision to move away from a smaller 4.3-inch display and to equip the phone with a larger screen following increased consumer attention toward larger "phablet" style devices.

Samsung's new Galaxy S4 has a 5-inch display while the HTC One sports a 4.7-inch display.

It's unclear what the smartphone will cost — rumors suggest it will fall between $100 and $200 — if and when Amazon does announce it, and we're not sure if it's going to take Google's approach by selling the device itself or instead working with carrier partners.
